MODELING OF LINE PARAMETERS FOR THE BROADBAND POWER LINE CARRIER CHANNEL

High speed data over power line seems as unique solution for the sparsely populated areas. Several research and field experiments have been done to investigate the feasibility of this communication channel. The aim of this article is to simulate the high speed data communication via power cables. The effect of physical properties of power line on data communication is investigated. The research steps are mathematical and physical analysis and programming. The effects of line material, line diameter, line elevation, line span and termination on spectral response of channel for various frequencies are investigated. It is seen that copper as line material, thick wires, short towers, line with the least span and resistive-inductive loads shows the maximum voltage amplitude at the load.
